I enrolled in 120 hours of private, online Hindi lessons through Zabaan as a total beginner, in order to gain some language facility during my 9 months of research in India. My experience with the school was terrific. I had two teachers, Vartika and Manisha, who had different and complimentary teaching styles and coordinated with one another to make sure the class was moving along at a pace that was good for me. Both of them seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching, which makes any class far more fun. It’s hard to imagine a more efficient course to cover all the fundamental Hindi grammar and develop skills for reading, writing, and speaking. I would highly recommend Zabaan to anyone serious about learning a language.

I took basic Urdu lessons at Zabaan under Ali Taqi, and got completely hooked. For anyone who is enthusiastic about a language, this is the place to go to. In a detailed yet humorous manner, Ali manages to get one to understand the basics of Urdu in just three classes (if you do the homework). I highly recommend learning Urdu at Zabaan, I had a great experience going for the group classes.

Equipped with the necessary course material, it's very easy to learn online with them. I highly recommend their online classes.

Her teaching is grounded in Punjabi literature, poetry, and oral traditions, and places strong emphasis on confident, natural use of the language.
